Aaahctchunnn!

A friend of mine who saw this photo did not like it; "ugh, she's like that?" she said. Perhaps it's photos like this which made me unpopular with her publicity agency.

A photograph is always only one sample of a more permanent light reflection caught at a certain moment, one of many possible perspectives in an imperfect medium. A photograph, as we're beginning to realize in the digital era, is not absolute truth.

Still, there are photos which attempt honesty and those which create a fantasy, and I think photographs which honestly attempt to peel layers of a world perceived are often more interesting. Anyway, there are plenty of the fantasy photographs of Jodie floating around.

Though, the way she is holding the can almost suggests, to me, that she was preparing for a career in commercials if "The Silence of the Lambs" and the film she was shooting, "Little Man Tate," did not do well.

Also, she could do advertisements, billboards at least, for cigarettes: something conveying a message like "Jodie Foster smokes ______ while shooting films--you should smoke this brand too."
